Kevin welcomes everyone to the Kevin Owens Show. Kevin says he got a call from Shawn Michaels to ask him to host the KO Show with the three men who will fight for the NXT Men’s Championship on Peacock. Considering he is the reason Kevin became a wrestler so he is not going to say no.
JD is not impressed with what Kevin has said.
Kevin says he is here to keep the peace so no one wreaks havoc. Kevin says he doesn’t like his odds. Someone in this ring has already been stirring the pot and getting in everyone’s head. That person is nothing more than a huge, creepy weirdo. Kevin says he is talking about JD Don’tGoogleMe.
Kevin moves closer to Bron and says he needs a shower looking at JD.
JD says you can call him whatever you want because he will be champion in four days. He says he has been on his best behavior. He didn’t lay out Bron last week, that was Ilja. I didn’t spear Ilja, that was Bron. You can argue about who is the toughest, I am gunning for the NXT title.
Ilja says he was aiming for JD, but hitting Bron was not a mistake. I stood over your prone body and you struggled for air. At that moment I realized that you are human. I saw the chink in the armor of a great warrior. You are beatable. That bullet was meant for you at World’s Collide. On Saturday, you will feel it again. I will recapture the title that should have been mine in the very first place.
Bron says over his dead body. He says he felt Torpedo Moscow. There hasn’t been anything an opponent can do to keep you down other than when I speared your ass last week. It is a shame you had to relinquish your title. You want it back but too damn bad. You want a friend, get a dog. As long as I am breathing this title will be mine.
Kevin says he appreciates the intensity between you two. Kevin says he sees what is going on. This guy, and he uses that term loosely, is trying to get to the point where you tear each other apart and easily win the title on Saturday. As a former NXT champion, you cannot let that happen because nobody wants JD to be champion.
Kevin says JD’s mom doesn’t even want him to be champion because she is freaked out by him. Make sure JD doesn’t walk out as champion.
JD says he doesn’t need Kevin’s approval, the people’s approval, a friend, or a dog. I just need one Devil Inside and I will be the one with the title. Ilja, you kicked me out of NXT UK and I have been thinking about how to get back at you and it is nothing physical, it is you seeing me with the title.
Ilja says he agrees. JD is the leech that sucks the life out of everything. It does not matter what continent you are on, you will always be a contender, but never a champion.
Bron says he will put Ilja’s ass in the same category as JD.
Ilja reminds Bron he lost his title in his last triple threat match. Ilja tells Bron to try to put him in that category RIGHT NOW.
